At-home Insemination. Discover Canada Cryobank’s commitment to family planning with Health Canada compliant Donor Sperm options.

For many Canadians, the decision to have a child will be one of the most important decisions in their lifetime. For individuals with fertility concerns, or those who need help to conceive, that decision can become even more complicated. Canada Cryobank offers guidance and support to future parents-to-be by redefining possibilities for parenthood.

As a Health Canada Inspected Donor Sperm and Donor Egg bank, Canada Cryobank works with leading international donor gamete banks to increase diversity in donor options for Canadians. Canada Cryobank is committed to expanding its donor selection by sourcing from ethnically diverse sperm banks from around the world. This ensures that every individual has the chance to conceive.

Convenient and affordable — At-home insemination with donor sperm

Canada Cryobank stands out in its efforts to make family planning more accessible, and is unique in having garnered Health Canada approval for at-home-insemination for Canadians.

For donor sperm, individuals have the option to ship their donor samples to a fertility clinic or directly to their home for at-home-insemination.

With at-home insemination, semen or sperm is deposited into the vagina without sexual intercourse and can be accomplished with or without the assistance of a medical professional. The Health Canada compliant frozen donor sperm (tested according to Health Canada Safety Regulations for infectious and inherited genetic diseases) ships directly to your home in a specialized tank for in-home use. This process can be a meaningful and cost-saving option for those using donor sperm and seeking privacy and comfort in their own homes. 

For individuals in good health with no underlying fertility concerns, there is evidence that at-home insemination can be as successful as undergoing intracervical insemination (ICI) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) in a clinic under medical supervision. Note that for at-home insemination, Canada Cryobank recommends discussing your donor options and overall pregnancy fitness with your physician.

No matter what option you decide to use for your family planning, Canada Cryobank’s knowledgeable and experienced staff is available to assist you. Discover how Canada Cryobank can help you create the family you’ve always dreamed of.
